The magazine article posted to the right is about Austria’s Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg (1897 – 1977) and how the merger of Austria with Nazi Germany came into existence:
“Behind the scenes that hard day at Berchtesgaden, revealing what Hitler said to Kurt Schuschnigg and what the Austrian public never knew about the German plot to stage in Vienna a counterpart of the Reichstag fire, as a pretext for invasion. Schuschnigg spoiled that pretext, only to furnish another one himself. Uncovering the plot in the hope of averting invasion he merely brought it on.”
Reference is made to Hitler’s deputy Rudolf Hess (1894 – 1987) and the roll he played in the whole sad affair.
